Aha... that's so mean, Lisa-chan. Look at me, holding you even though I actually hurt you with these hands...

[ Self-loathing sucks like that. Hibiki's well aware, what with how she tries to laugh away the guilt she's still feeling about that. ]

It's... scary, I know. But you just have to have courage. It's easier said than done, but... if you don't reach out and miss your chance, it'll hurt way more.

[ Still, she'd like to ease Lisa's worries as much as she can... but how? She just can't find the words...

...Ah, wait, she's always had an alternative when words failed her. ]

"I want to be stronger"… that's how I really felt
I'd been recklessly lashing out (I'd been lashing out)

I've always had them with me (I've always had them with me)
Warm and precious things (Warm and important things)
Telling me not to lose, telling me to accept it
Their dearest love call burns at my heart

I won't let you go (I won't let you go)
Not so easily (Not so easily)
That's the road I found for myself

Hurting others, being hurt by them (hurting each other)
If our bond so polished
Sparkles more than any other
Then once more, I'll stand, and head for tomorrow…!
